- Report cards are due to team leaders on Monday. Also, Honor Roll names are due to Mrs. Tusa and Terrific Kids' names are due to me. Report cards are due to administration on Wednesday.
- Team leader day is Tuesday.
- Thursday is an early release day. We have assemblies that day - The NED Show. K-2 is at 8:30 and 3-5 at 9:30.
- PLCs are scheduled for Thursday at 1:00.
- Our SAC and PTA meetings are next Thursday: SAC at 5:15 and PTA at 6:15.
- Class Pictures will be taken next Friday.
- Floranada Day is next Saturday from 11:00 until 3:00.
- As we transition to the Common Core State Standards, our writing instruction should begin to reflect this shift. The expectation for next month's writing samples is that students will write reflectively to something that they have read. We should see examples of students using text-based evidence in their written responses.
- Check out this website - 25 Things Successful Teachers Do Differently Which of these speak to you? Numbers 1, 2, 5, 6 (high expectations), 11 (self-reflection), 16 and 23 really stood out to me. I also liked what the author stated in the beginning of the article that a teacher never giving up on a student is what makes that child successful. This brings to mind my belief that we must be relentless in our pursuit of academic success for all of our students. Thank you to Mrs. Hernandez for sharing this article.
